One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 183 Scarlett
"Let me see. The bounty is 1.3 billion Baileys. He is the captain of the Bess Pirates, a subordinate of the Evil Pirates. Bess Bess is a user of the parahuman musical instrument fruit, which allows him to turn everything about himself into a musical instrument."

Borsalino was incredibly fast, and it didn't take him long to reach Dressrosa Island. He first went to the nearest handover point to get information from the CP agent, and then walked around the island. He said to himself:
"Wow, he's one of the remnants of Rocks. A bounty of 1 billion is almost the same as Whitebeard and his gang back then. Prices are rising so fast."

Borsalino couldn't help but sigh when he saw the description and reward amount on the bounty order.

The Rocks Pirates have now been completely erased from history, remaining only in the memories and fears of some people. Nowadays, all paper information related to them has been replaced with the word "extremely evil".

In the year 1491 of the Haiyuan calendar, the starting bounty for the legendary pirates was billion berries.

The bounty for Goldo Roger is over 3 billion, and no one knows how such a huge bounty could be reached.

The surge in the amount of the reward means an increase in prices for the lower classes, which is a relationship in which the latter drives the former.

"Hey, there it is. Let's go check it out. I just hope there's nothing wrong. Otherwise, I can't handle it by myself."

As he walked, Borsalino came to a music square and stopped, looking at the Bess Pirates singing happily there with a wary look on his face.

Dressrosa is a tropical summer island known as the land of flowers and music. Most of the girls here are passionate and unrestrained, which has made some of the special cultures here very famous.

For example, in terms of music culture, there are music squares in many places for artists to perform and sing, and at night they become open-air bars and dance venues.

They stood in the center of the music square, with the bass in the center. Their left hand turned into a bass and their right hand played heavy yet soothing music. Two pirates, a man and a woman, sang an unknown folk song beside them, and some pirates danced around them.

The open space outside was filled with ordinary people who were attracted by the singing and music, and even some nobles who came here for tourism.

How could the Bess Pirates be so cruel as to stir up trouble on the sea? They looked like just an ordinary band.

But only Borsalino knew that this was just their disguise.

Among these ordinary people, just looking around for a while, he found no less than twelve ferocious pirates. Their weapons were hidden very deeply, and they were ready to attack at any time.

No pirate is considered "kind" when the bounty exceeds 300 million. Their hands are more or less stained with blood that should not be stained.

Whether innocent or intentional, whether passive or active.

"What wonderful music! By the way, what kind of instrument is this? It looks a bit like an extended violin. It doesn't seem like a product of the New World."

A girl with magenta hair said so. Her tone was gentle and soft. She had an aristocratic temperament. Even simple clothes could not conceal her charm.

"That's the bass! It's known as a craftsman's instrument in the South China Sea. The sound is heavy and delicate, without too much noise. It's like the pure sound of hammering iron, and is deeply loved by craftsmen in the South China Sea."

The girl turned her head and looked at Borsalino, a tall and thin man beside her, who had appeared here at some point in time.

In fact, Borsalino did not want to attract the girl's attention. It was because the necklace on her neck was too conspicuous. The emblem on it was the family emblem of the Liku royal family, which highlighted the girl's identity.

"Thank you sir, you must be a traveler, can you tell me about what's happening outside?"

"Oh, sorry Miss, I just happen to know this instrument and I wanted to attract your attention."

"Hey! To attract my attention?"

The girl was confused at first, then she distanced herself from Borsalino, looking a little wary and unfriendly.

Borsalino scratched his forehead in embarrassment. What a shame! He was still suspected. He had clearly stated his purpose sincerely, but why didn't he even ask why he was looking for her?

Instead, he made a firm decision in his heart and believed it, then showed his usual style. "Don't be nervous, Miss. You are a member of the Riku royal family, right? I don't want to know who you are, but please believe me, you'd better get away from this place as soon as possible, find a quiet corner or just go home."

Borsalino no longer had the interest he had at the beginning. After giving a few casual reminders, he turned around and left silently.

He originally wanted to save this young lady from the Liku royal family, so that he could go to her house and get some good tea for free, or get some good wine to give away.

But now, he just wanted to get away from these identical aristocratic chicks as soon as possible.

Dressrosa is not a member of the World Government, and is located in the troubled New World. Borsalino originally thought that the nobles here would be different from the nobles in the Four Seas or even the first half of the Grand Line.

At least you won't be arrogant.

But obviously, even if he revealed his purpose, he still couldn't gain any trust.

As expected, the nobles of the sea are generally black, and they look the same no matter where they are.

"leave here?"

Scarlett muttered to herself as she watched Borsalino leave.

She realized that she seemed to have misunderstood the kind stranger just now, and there seemed to be something wrong with the band in the music square.

But she did not chase after him to apologize. As the eldest princess of the contemporary Liku royal family, her identity destined her not to have any unnecessary emotions towards these ordinary people.

For example, regret and apology.

This is a habit developed since childhood.

But she still chose to listen to the advice of the kind-hearted person just now, quietly left the crowd, and headed towards the Liku Royal City built on a high tower in the distance.

It is human nature to ignore, but it is human nature to take advice.

"Hehehe, the concert tickets are 100,000 Baileys per person. It will be your honor to listen to the songs played by our captain. Pay up quickly!"

"I've paid, I've paid. Listen first and buy your ticket later. One ticket is 100,000 Baileys. Thank you for your patronage, bosses!"

"Yohohoho, brothers, surround this place and don't let any of the freeloaders escape without paying!"

Soon, Scarlett heard a commotion in the distance.

Hundreds of pirates drew their weapons and surrounded a large number of ordinary people, and a riot broke out in an instant.

The bass that was playing in the square earlier also revealed its true colors.

"Bass heavy cover!"

Several huge bass sounds accompanied by invisible sound waves spread out, covering the frightened people in a short time. The materialized barrier followed closely and quickly unfolded along the ripples.

"That's right! Oh no, I have to go and inform my father. Damn pirates, do you really think that there is no one in my Riku royal family?"
